Poll: What Government coalition do you want?
WITH TALKS BETWEEN Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael set to take place next week, the prospect of a Grand Coalition is looking like a distinct possibility.
According to a Business Post/Red C opinion poll today, fewer than two in ten people want another General Election.
Some 26% of the 3,700 voters surveyed favour a grand coalition involving Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael and smaller parties.
Another 26% favour a Sinn Féin-led left-wing government, while 19% of voters say they would prefer a coalition involving Fianna Fáil, Sinn Féin and smaller parties.
So, today we’re asking: What Government coalition do you want?
Poll Results:
Fianna Fáil-Fine Gael grand coalition with smaller parties (5411)
Sinn Féin-led coalition with smaller parties (3197)
Another General Election (2682)
Sinn Féin-Fianna Fáil coalition with smaller parties (2420)
None of the above (829)
